Presentation Transcript

  1. GOAL AREA ACTIONS Goal I – Research Identify areas for new faculty hires in earth systems science Paleo Group Center for Prediction of Red Tides Marine Micro/Viruses Currents, Ocean Circulation, Ocean State Variables Climate Change Processes Trophodynamics Group Ocean Sensor Development and Technology Fisheries Resource Assessment Project a target increase in Federal and Other Funds Implement new areas of concentration in: Marine Resource Assessment and Ocean Technology Establish methodology to assess faculty research productivity

  2. Goal II – Quality of Education Identify CMS actions to further progress on University quest for AAU membership. Assess teaching emphasis and attention to graduate education. Define criteria/resource requirements to attract permanent Dean. Implement specific opportunities for regular interface among faculty, students, and labs. Develop Plan for “greening” the College.

  3. Goal III – Collaboration, Engagement Seek assignment of NOAA Fisheries Expert to CMS Emphasize relationship with FWRI, NOAA/NMFS, USGS, Mote Marine Lab and other stakeholders, e.g. regular meetings/jointly sponsored activities Develop NSF Science and Technology Center Proposal Compile and Publicize list and nature of current and future collaborative relationships. Conduct USGS/NOAA/CMS Storm Surge Workshop Increase collaboration within the USF community through joint research, publications, teaching and governance committees. Explore opportunities to complement other SUS research and education efforts.

  4. Goal IV – Stability Obtain significant private support Define external affairs program with emphases on alumi relations and development Develop plan to maximize effectiveness of Community Education/Outreach Program Implement Infrastructure Improvement Plans Develop Vessel and Vehicle Support Plan Complete reclassification and realignment objectives Enhance internal and external communication effectiveness, e.g., website, seminars, workshops, USF committees, and social interaction Expand/develop long-term cooperative agreements with other agencies.

  5. Planning & Performance Matrix • Mirrors and feeds USF’s PPM. • Captures actions over 5 years to achieve goals. • Identifies performance measure and indicators, type of measure, data source, responsibility, quantitative and qualitative objectives, and timeframe planned. • Integral to annual performance review.

  8. USF/COLLEGE OF MARINE SCIENCE (CMS) GOALS FOR 2008-2013 Selected Eligibility Measures for the Association of American Universities (AAU) Membership in the National Academies (NAS, NAE, IOM): The National Academies membership database maintains the current institutional affiliation of its members. Faculty Awards: For its last research doctorate assessment, NRC compiled a list of awards, fellowships, and memberships signifying faculty achievement. Federal Research Support: These data are collected by the National Science Foundation for expenditures rather than obligations. Postdoctoral Appointees: The committee will use NSF-compiled data from institutions on postdoctoral appointees, most of whom are in the health sciences, physical sciences, and engineering. Post doctoral education is an increasingly important component of research and education activities that the Committee believes should be tracked in AAU membership indicators. However, because postdoctoral activity is highly correlated with university research and because self-reported postdoctoral data are less uniform than data on federally-funded research, postdoctoral appointees will be treated as a Phase II Indicator. Doctorates Awarded: The committee will use number of Ph.D.s granted annually as well as tabulate the distribution of Ph.D.s across broad disciplinary categories (e.g., engineering but not aerospace engineering), using Department of Education IPEDS (Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System) data.. Citations: The U.S. University Science Indicators citations database, updated annually, measures research volume and quality. Data Source: The Top American Research Universities 2007 Annual Report

  9. Compact Plan • Short-term, focused planning agreement negotiated between Dean and Provost to align broad University goals with the priorities, investments, and actions of CMS. It is regularly reviewed and revised and reflects consultation with stakeholders. It embraces one or more the following USF areas of emphases: • Community Engagement • Global Literacy and Impact • Integrated, Interdisciplinary Inquiry • Research and Innovation • Student Success
